The network was never down, that's not the point.

At block 74638 there was the 184 billion btc transaction.

Every transaction after that block was reversed when the patched chain kicked in and caught the unpatched chain at block 74691.

This means that everything you did during those 5 hours didn't really happened, i.e. you needed to do it again.

Nǐ hǎo!

Jose Storopoli, PhD β€’ Shamir's Secret Sharing

In this post, we’ll talk about Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS), a cryptographic algorithm that allows us to split a secret into multiple parts, called shares, in such a way that the secret can only be reconstructed if a certain number of shares are combined. The idea is to give a visual intuition of how the algorithm works, and describe the mathematical details behind it.
